ACT 5 meter LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 fiber patch cable duplex with LC/APC8 and SC/APC8 connectors

The ACT 5m LSZH Singlemode 9/125 OS2 duplex fiber patch cable provides reliable optical connectivity for data center and telecommunications applications. It features LC/APC8 to SC/APC8 duplex connectors, a 9/125 µm singlemode OS2 core for low attenuation, and an LSZH jacket for reduced smoke and halogen-free operation. Each cable includes an individual test report for insertion loss (IL) and return loss (RL), and end-faces are 100% inspected. Grade A fiber and APC polish ensure consistent performance.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable is made with Grade A singlemode fiber and APC-polished connectors to minimize back-reflection and signal loss. Laser-precision cleaving and 100% end-face inspection improve connector quality and reliability. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, while the OS2 9/125 µm core supports long-distance, high-performance optical transmission.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and patch panels

How to use

Route the duplex fiber patch cable between compatible LC/APC and SC/APC ports, ensuring correct duplex orientation. Avoid tight bends; maintain the cable's minimum bend radius as specified by the system manufacturer. Clean connector end-faces before mating to prevent contamination. Connect firmly until the connectors click into place and verify link performance using appropriate optical test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connectors with dust caps when not in use, and use the individual IL/RL test report to validate installation performance.
